                              GEEST ANALYST VISIT

Geest PLC, the leading fresh prepared foods and produce company, will be hosting
an analyst and shareholder visit on 22 and 23 October 2003 as part of its
investor relations programme.  Although current trading will not be discussed,
the following business developments will be confirmed:


  * We have rolled out the PizzaExpress pizza range into an additional three
    retailers, including one in Eire.


  * Following our acquisition of Crudi earlier in the year we have been
    appointed joint supplier in the UK to McDonald's for prepared lettuce.


  * Our ready meals business is now growing strongly and will be bolstered by
    new business gains with customers in the UK.


These developments will come on stream before the end of the year and will
contribute to sales in 2004.
